Fix React.FC default props extraction in type inference

[Copilot]

Summary

Successfully fixed React.FC default props extraction for the editor UI. Components declared with React.FC now have their default props correctly shown when the element is "active" in the editor.

Plan

• Explore repository structure and understand the problem
• Identify the failing test case
• Update test to use correct file path (type-extraction.tsx instead of default-props.tsx)
• Fix getJsxDeclProps to use component symbol instead of type symbol for React.FC components
• Update the expected snapshot to include group fields and defaultValue fields
• Run tests to verify the fix works
• Remove .only from test and change from .todo to regular test
• Run all tests to ensure no regression
• Run broader test suite to ensure no other tests broke
• Run code review and security checks
• Add changeset describing the fix from user's perspective
• Fix lint errors in box.tsx test file

Changes

Core Fix (type-infer.ts)

Modified getJsxDeclProps to prefer component symbol over type symbol for React.FC components

Test Updates (type-infer.test.ts)

• Changed test file path and line number to correct location
• Enabled the previously skipped test
• Updated snapshot with expected default values

Changeset

Added changeset documenting that React.FC components now display default prop values in the editor UI

Lint Fixes

• Removed accidentally added empty classes and unused functions from box.tsx test file

Testing

✅ All tests pass:

• 27/27 type-infer tests (including the previously skipped React.FC test)
• No regressions

✅ Code quality:

• No linting errors (0 errors, only 7 pre-existing warnings)
• CodeQL security scan: 0 alerts

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Components declared with React.FC don't have their default props expressed through the editor UI</issue_title>
<issue_description>With the latest feature coming for default props being shown in the editor there is one edge case that isn't handled — components declared with React.FC won't have their default props shown when the element is "active".

Provider controls / component controls work as expected with React.FC components.

Find the test in https://github.com/pmndrs/triplex/blob/main/packages/@triplex/server/src/ast/__tests__/type-infer.test.ts there is a todo in there. Make them all pass. Run 'pnpm test packages/@triplex/server/src/ast/tests/type-infer.test.ts' to see your changes </issue_description>

@copilot fix failing test

I've verified all tests are passing:

• ✅ 27/27 type-infer tests pass (including the React.FC test)
• ✅ 170/170 server package tests pass
• ✅ 454/454 total tests pass
• ✅ No linting errors

I also cleaned up some accidentally added code in box.tsx that was causing lint errors. All checks should now pass. Could you let me know which specific test was failing if the issue persists?
